!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the time has come to get a different bike. The SV was my first new bike, and I've had a great 13,500ish miles on it. I think that I want to move onto a more touring oriented bike. I'm getting the "new bike itch".
Anyway, here are some recent pics of the bike:

As mentioned above the bike has 13,500 miles on it, give or take. As far as mods/parts go it has:
- Sonic Springs .9 springs up front (with fresh fluid this season)
- Kawi rear shock (I forget which bike it's from, MUCH better than OEM)
- Heated grips
- Micron blacked out slip on muffler
- Black aluminum muffler hanger
- Custom reshaped/padded seat by a shop in MA. SO much more comfortable than stock.
- Motosliders frame sliders, and rear spool sliders
- Bikemaster bars (higher up, black, more comfy than stock)
- TechSpec snake skin tank pads
- Aftermarket black grips
- Third eye bar end mirror
- Lamin-X yellow headlight film
- GSX-r turn signals (one of them has a wonky bulb that blinks fast)
- Suzuki OEM fender eliminator
- Black aluminum foot pegs
- Rear seat cowl
- Another rear seat cowl with a touring trunk bolted onto it
- Stainless front lines
- A set of brand new carbone lorraine front pads
- A new OEM air filter
- A big pile of stock parts (you could easily bring the bike back to stock)
- Pretty new Dunlop D220s on it.
I was VERY obsessive about break in and maintenance. You'll receive a spreadsheet from me containing every service I've ever done to the bike.
The only thing that ever happened to the bike was I washed out the front slowly turning around in a cul-de-sac (new front tire was greasy). The clutch side frame slider took all the damage, and the only thing I had to replace was the shift lever.
Again, the bike has NEVER let me down, and I know someone will get many years of fun from it.
I'd like to get $4300 for it. Also, if anyone brings me a buyer I'll make sure to throw some cash at ya.
Thanks all!

PS I'm sure I forgot some stuff, I'll keep adding.

I really like the mods u did to this...looks great bud. Good luck
Man, I don't know what you're gonna get but if you mod it like this SV it'll be sick ass hell.

I can resist everything but Pete's mom.
Thanks all! I still like the bike a lot, it's just time for a change.
I'm thinking about a Kawi Versys, FZ6, or maybe motarding a DR650/KLR.
FZ6!?!?!?!?! Why would you leave the SV for that. ugh. :-P

It's just an idea, take it easy!
Honestly it's more comfortable 2-up (roomier), and the full windscreen would be nice for the colder months (which I find myself riding in more and more). That and I think I may want to try an inline four.
That would make my heart cry. :-(

Private message sent - looking seriously at this![]()
Wondering if that seat will fit mine... or ... if you can let me know where you got it done.
I found my self strongly considering this. I think I may be in trouble....
Sell it to Bottoj, that way I get to ride it and it stays on the forums.
I'll know tonight whether or not Mr. Botto will be buying it. I'll keep you all posted![]()
I second lady flyin' low!
Nice bike with tasteful mods...
